Read MoreGod bless his soul and may he Rest In Peace. He was an amazing man who loved teaching the children in Wilmington. He guided me as I started my art program here and we shared many of the same students who always told me how much they loved his class. A true inspiration and he is missed.

What a terrible shock to hear that Stephen had passed away! It is a tragic loss for his father Michael, his wife Rachel, and his little, angelic son and daughter, Henry and Ruby. I am praying for the family.

Before I ever met I was told what a great guy he was. As my husband and I got to know him through our son Jess we also thought he was great. He truly was a man who loved his family. Our hearts are very sad for you Rachel.
